Eloquence uses a modified Klatt synthesizer with:
• KLGLOTT88-style source (at² - bt³ polynomial)
• Spectral tilt (TL): ~8-12 dB for normal voice, ~20-24 dB for breathy
• Flutter (FL): ~25% for naturalness (sums of three sine waves at 12.7, 7.1, 4.7 Hz)
• Open quotient (OQ): ~50% default, varies for voice quality
Eloquence has very specific formant transition patterns:
• Non-steady-state targets (0ms duration) as inflection points
• F2 "locus" frequencies for consonants that drive coarticulation
• 5ms frame rate for smooth interpolation

Just a friendly reminder that it's the #FOSDEM week :)

7 rooms will be streamed over #PeerTube from VHSky.cz and MakerTube.net instances. Playlists here.

I don’t really get the benefit of doing a national shutdown like this. Reaper took their website offline until tomorrow to protest ICE, and while the issue clearly matters to them, shutting down access to the software just ends up affecting normal people who have nothing to do with anything.
It doesn’t really persuade anyone who’s just trying to download or check out the program. Instead, it mostly creates frustration and shifts attention away from the actual issue.
I was planning to download and try Reaper today, but now I can’t. That alone makes me less likely to come back later, especially since the protest doesn’t have anything to do with the software or audio work itself.

Remember: It's okay for your F/OSS project to be finished. You don't have shareholders who need you to grow every year. You don't have customers who need to be persuaded to buy a subscription or a new version every year by marketing-driven features. If it solves the problem that you created it to solve, you have won. You now have some software that solves the problem that you had. You are allowed to stop now.
